Be Social, or Don’t!

Sometimes to recharge, we just need to see a friend. No matter how busy your week gets, it’s important to schedule some time for yourself, whether it's seeing some friends and connecting on a deeper emotional level, or staying in and watching a movie with your pet. No matter how busy you get, don’t forget to do something that makes you happy.

Do what makes you happy, in moderation

Although it’s strongly encouraged to eat well and stay active, sometimes you need to do things just because you enjoy them. If you have the time, enjoy a couple hours playing video games, or treat yourself to an ice cream. Sometimes it’s the smallest instances of relaxation that can make us the happiest.
